Anastasia met the business magnate Christian Grey, and through a single
meeting, a sensual affair that is bound to shock and titillate the most
liberal of minds ensued. The ghosts of Grey’s past constantly tested
the affair and although Ana knew the complexity of her ‘fifty shades’
there is no easy way to tackle a fascinating man with repulsive tastes.
As she demands more than what Grey wills her to have, they grow apart
only to be consumed further into their relationship which now must brave
the trials that loving another involves.

Fifty Shades Freed opens with Ana and Grey finally together
after the tumultuous affair they shared in the last two books are
consummated. Ana is prepared to brave every battle for her part in this
relationship but sometimes when fate deals a bad hand, there is really
little chance in braving its trials. With Grey acquiring a company
called SIP, Ana is still struggling with Christian’s past and his
controlling behavior, the couple is battling more than anyone’s fair
share of woes.

But there is more to this love affair than meets the eye of any common
spectator or reader, as these two young adults believe in the power of
their commitment. And this tides them across to better times. Although
it might seem that their love survives the perils of life, they are
tested yet again and this time, it is much worse than anything that both
of them had anticipated, much less prepared for. The plot takes another
turn when Mia is kidnapped and held for ransom.

E. L. James delivers a powerful close to the immensely popular trilogy through this book. Fifty Shades Freed
engages the themes of past trauma in a most engaging manner in which
both Ana and Christian are embroiled in and conflicted with. It was
published in 2012 and opened to commercial acclaim.
